Use a port that isn't already in use for login

[Trevor Dearham]

I have another service that is using port 9090. Please make port configurable or select a random unused port.

ERR listen EADDRINUSE :::9090: Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::9090

@Trevor Dearham We can definitely make the port configurable in a future release.

In the meantime, the service only runs during the auth flow and then shuts itself down. It does not run all the time. You should be able to temporarily shut down your other service, auth with Atlassian inside of VSCode and then restart your other service.

Once you're authenticated, the service inside of VSCode won't be running anymore.

@brainicorn Thank you. I shut down the service and now could log in. I've updated the title to reflect the enhancement request.

Version 1.3.0 of the extension changes the port to 31415 to reduce conflicts with other applications. It cannot be configurable unfortunately due to restrictions with how the Jira and Bitbucket OAuth apps work.
